Microphone Hire
Adelaide

Audio Hire provides professional microphone hire in Adelaide for weddings, parties, corporate functions, presentations, conferences, school functions, speeches, MCs and live music. Our range includes Shure wired and wireless microphones that can be combined with speakers, mixers, microphone stands and other equipment to create the setup you need.

Choosing the right microphone depends on how it will be used. A microphone for a wedding speech has different requirements from one being passed between presenters at a conference or used by a singer on stage. You also need to consider whether the person speaking needs to move around, how many people need microphones and how the microphones will connect to the sound system.

Audio Hire is based in Walkerville. Microphones can be collected by appointment or delivered with your other hire equipment across Adelaide. If you’re unsure what you need, tell us what you’re organising and how the microphones will be used, and we can help you choose.

The best microphone for your function depends primarily on who will be using it and what they will be doing while they speak or perform. Wired handheld microphones are a practical choice when the person using the microphone will remain in a relatively fixed position, such as during a speech, presentation or vocal performance. They are straightforward to use and well suited to many common applications.

Wireless microphones provide greater freedom of movement. They can be useful for MCs, presenters and performers who need to move around a room or stage, as well as situations such as school sports days where the person using the microphone may need to work some distance from the main sound system.

The number of microphones also matters. A single presenter, a wedding with several speeches, a panel discussion and a live performance can all require different microphone arrangements. If several microphones or other sound sources need to be used together, a mixer may also form part of the setup. If you’re unsure which microphones or how many you need, contact Audio Hire and tell us how they will be used. You can also explore the microphone section of our Event Audio Knowledge Base for detailed guides covering microphone choice, technique, soundchecks, feedback and common microphone setups.

A microphone is only one part of the signal path between the person speaking or performing and the audience. Depending on your setup, you may also need speakers, a mixer, microphone stands, XLR cables or other accessories. A microphone stand can be useful when the person needs both hands free, while a mixer allows several microphones and other audio sources to be connected and controlled together. XLR cables connect wired microphones and other professional audio equipment, while an appropriate PA or sound system reproduces the microphone signal for the audience.

For most functions where a microphone needs to be heard by an audience, it will form part of a PA or sound system. The microphone captures the voice, but the rest of the system is responsible for amplifying and reproducing it throughout the listening area.

If the venue does not already provide a suitable sound system, you can hire the speakers, microphones and other equipment together. The appropriate combination depends on the venue, audience and how the microphones will be used. You can browse our PA Hire Adelaide and Sound System Hire Adelaide pages, or contact us if you would like help putting the complete setup together.
